What I'd do is change your include()d template to wrap a function around the <HTML><BODY> stuff. Then you can call it once you have enough information available, and pass in any variable elements like the name of that rotating image. This will make your templating a whole lot more flexible (you can now specify the <TITLE> on each page, for instance). miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
